Maths Mastery

For adults, teens and older children

Struggling with maths?

 

Throughout their entire lives, some individuals carry the belief that they are simply not good at mathematics. Difficulties with math are sometimes referred to as dyscalculia, involving challenges in certain aspects of math, or acalculia, where arithmetic cannot be performed at all. These difficulties often coexist with symptoms of dyslexia and ADHD.

Conventional teaching methods sometimes fail to help learners grasp the fundamental mathematical concepts underlying equations. Consequently, learners may resort to memorization without true comprehension in order to cope with math. This approach inevitably leads to issues when attempting more advanced mathematical functions, as the essential understanding is lacking. However, once learners master the foundational concepts necessary to comprehend all mathematics, the process of learning math becomes easy!

Davis™ Maths Mastery Programme

The Davis™ approach tackles the underlying problems that lead some individuals to struggle with conventional teaching methods for understanding mathematics. Visual-spatial thinkers, in particular, may find themselves perplexed by the language and symbols used to describe mathematical functions. However, in the Davis™ Maths Mastery Programme, clients excel by capitalising on their strengths and employing visual and tactile techniques for comprehension.

The duration of the program typically spans around 8 days, tailored to individual requirements. It equips individuals with a profound understanding of the logical concepts that form the foundation of all mathematics, allowing them to master crucial arithmetic functions, including:

  • counting

  • understanding numeral symbols

  • perceiving place value

  • performing arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)

  • comprehending fractions and decimals

  • If needed, the programme can also cover telling time, using a calendar and/or using money

How It Works

Step One: Contact us for a free chat

Connect on a call with us to discuss what difficulties you or your child is facing with mathematics and we can explore how the Davis™ Maths Mastery Programme could work for your needs.

Step Two: 40-Hour Intensive Programme or 30-Hour with another Davis™ Programme

The Davis™ Maths Mastery Programme is run intensively over approximately 8 full days. If you do another Davis™ programme first, Maths Mastery can be completed in up to five days. All materials needed for the programme are provided by the facilitator. Prior to doing a programme with us we do an assessment so we know how we can best tailor the programme to meet your specific needs.

A family member or other support person must join on the afternoon of the final day to complete a short training to be able to help the client complete the follow-up work of the programme.

Step Three: Post-Programme Follow-Up

After the completion of the programme, the client will have tools they can use for mathematical thinking as well as some new tools for learning in general. We offer three follow-up visits to explore how the client has been using their tools, any questions they have or challenges they have faced and to encourage the client in their mathematical learning journey.
